Avoid contacting with solutions or coupling gels containing mineral oil or lanolin.
Avoid temperatures above 60°C. Under no circumstances should the transducer be subjected
to heat sterilization method. Exposure to temperatures above 60º C will cause permanent damage
to the transducer.
Inspect the probe prior to use for damage or degeneration to the housing, strain relief, lens and
seal. Do not use a damaged or defective probe.
Probe Immersion Levels
CAUTION:
These transducers are not designed to withstand heat sterilization methods. Exposure to
temperatures in excess of 60 ºC will cause permanent damage. The transducers are not designed
to be totally submerged in fluid, as permanent damage will result if the entire transducer is
submerged.
